For a thousand years, earth vampire Carwyn ap Bryn has sacrificed for the good of others: God, his family, his friends. But tragedy rips his world apart, causing him to question everything about his eternity. 

Brigid Connor has known about the immortal world since vampires rescued her from a harrowing childhood, but not even their vast elemental power can save her from the demons that torment her. 

Are they stronger together? Or will Carwyn and Brigid's love bring the delicate power balance of the Elemental World crashing down? Building From Ashes is the first book in the Elemental World series by ten time USA Today bestselling author, Elizabeth Hunter.
